PUMP-SUPPORT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

lPatented Nov. 1, 1221.

Application filed November 19, 1920. Serial No. 425,209.

To @ZZ u1/1.0m t may concern.'

Be it known that I, CHARLns B. Hna.

BAUGH, a. citizen of the United States, and resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of lVisconsin, have invented neuT and useful Improvements in Pump-Supports, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification.

The invention relates to pump supports.

The object of the invention is to provide a support for mounting the suction pump oi' milking machine equipment upon the stalls,.said support being so constructed as to adapt it for use upon diiierent stall const-ructions of various manufacturers of barn equipment.

The invention further consists in the Several features hereinafter set Jforth and more particularly defined by claims at the conclusion hereof.

ln the drawings: Figure 1 is anelevation view of the device embodying the invention showing one manner of application; Fig. 2 is an enlarged elevation view of the device shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a view of the device applied in a dilierent manner; Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 with an extension connection; Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 3 with an extension connection;

.F ig. 7 is a detail view of one way of securing the device to the stall frame; Fig. 8 is a view oi the extension bracket.

The device shown in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive embodies a iframe bracket 10 and a pump anchor and rod guide bracket 11.

The bracket 10 is designed for attachment to either wooden or metal stall frames and in diilerent positions depending upon the particular stall constructions. This bracket consists of a base portion 12 provided with a longitudinally extending il-shaped notch 13 and sets oi spaced holes 14 and a flange portion 15 having spaced lugs 16. There are also a pair of holes 17 in the base. A bolt hole 18 is provided in the base portion and a bolt hole 19 in the flange portion 15. lhere the hole 18 goes through, the base portion 12 is provided with a recess 2O for the nut of the bolt.

The bracket 11 is provided with arms 21 extending from its body portion 22 and forming therewith and with a cotter pin 23 passed through the arms, a guideway for the pump operating rod 24. A pump attaching pin 25 is mounted on the upper end of the bracket 11 and a pump rest rod 26 is secured to said bracket, said rod having an angled end 27 upon which the body 28 of the pump 30 rests. The bracket 11 has a bolt hole 31 in the `body portion thereof and a recess 31 adjacent this hole.

rllhe bracket l1 may be secured to the bracket 1() by a bolt 32 passing through the holes 31 and 18 as shown in F 3 or passing through the holes 31 and 19, as shown in F ig. 4. ln either case the lugs 16 hold the bracket 11 against lateral movement with respect to the bracket 10 when the bolt 32 is tightened up. rlhe arrangement shown in Figs. 1 to 3 is used where it is desired to run the pump rod 24 along the side of the stall frames the base 34 of the pump being detachably mounted on the pin 25 and the body of'said pump resting upon the rod 26, the pump plunger 34 being detachably secured to the rod 24 in the usual manner. The arrangement shown in Fig. 4 is used where it is desired to run the pump rod above the stall frames.

Where, as on some stall constructions, the stanchion operating members make it undesirable and impractical to attach the brackets 1() and 11 directly together, an angled bracket 35 is used between them to serve as an extension arm for the bracket 10. This bracket is provided with bolt holes 86, 37 and 38. As shown in Fig. 5, the bracket 10 is secured to the short leg 39 of the bracket 35 by a bolt 40 passing through the holes 36 and 19 and the bracket 11 to the bracket 35 by a. bolt 41 passing through the holes 31 and 38, thus mounting the bracket 11 above the stall trames. As shown in Fig. 6, the bracket 10 is secured to the long leg '42 of the bracket 35 by a bolt 43 passing through the holes 38 and 19 and the bracket 11 to the bracket 35 by a bolt 44 passing through the holes 31 and 36. Other arrangements than those speciiically shown can be eiiected with the bracket 35.

For wooden stall frame constructions the device may be secured by lag screws or bolts passed through the holes 14. For steel tubing.` either diamond, square or round, U-bolts 45 may be used to clamp the device to the frames with the threaded ends 0f such bolts passed through the holes 14,

or bolts 4:7 may be passed through the holes 17 and holes drilled in the stall frame, as shown in Fig. 7. v

Heretofore when milking machine equipment was installed special itt'ngs had to be obtained for the pump from the manufacturer of the particular stall frames. rlhe present device enables the pump equipment toibe installed on stall trames of dierent kinds, Whether of Wood or metal.

VThe pump rest rod 26 has threaded engageinent with the bracket ll and may be screwed in from either side or said bracket and locked in position by a nut 46.

l desire it to belunderstood that this invention is not to be limited to any specic form or arrangement of parts except in so 'ar as such limitations are speciiied in the claims.

What claim as my invention is:

1. A pump support i'or milking machine pumps, comprising` a base bracket. means for securing said bracket to the stall frame, a pump bracket provided with an attaching pin, a rest and a guidetvay for the pump actuating rod, and means for securing the base bracket to the pump bracket;

2. 'A pump support for milking machine pumps, comprising a base bracket, means for securing the base bracket to the stall frame, a pump bracket provided With an attaching pin, a rest and a guidevvay for the pump actuating rod, said base bracket having` a base portion and a flange portion, and means for securing said pump bracket either to the base portion or flange portion of the base bracket.

3. A pump support for milking'machine pumps, comprising a base bracket, means for securingsaid bracket to the stall frame, an extension member for said base bracket,

a pump bracket provided with an attaching pin, a rest vand a guideWay for the pump actuatingl rod, and means for securing` the pump bracket to said extensionmember.

4C. A pump supportrfor milking1 machine pumps, comprising a base bracket, means for securing said bracket to the stall frame, an extension member tor said base bracket, said base bracket having a base portion and a iiange portion, means for securing said extension member either to the base portion or iange portion of the base bracket, and a pump bracket secured. to said extension member and provided with an attaching pin, a rest, and a guideway for the'pump actuating rod. 1

5. A pump support for milking machine pumps, comprising a base bracket having a base portion and a flange portion, means for securing` .said bracket to the stall frame, an angled extension member having` one leg longer than the other, means for securing either leg of said member to either the base or iiange portion of the bracket, and a pump bracket secured to the other leg of said member.

In testimony whereof, l aiiix my signature. 1 Y
